The New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Live and Super Immunity and one of the country’s leading experts on preventive medicine offers a scientifically proven, practical program to prevent and reverse diabetes—without drugs.

At last, a breakthrough program to combat the rising diabetes epidemic and help millions of diabetics, as well as those suffering with high blood pressure and heart disease. Joel Fuhrman, M.D. Research director of the Nutritional Research Foundation, shows you how to live a long, healthy, and happy life—disease free. He offers a complete health transformation, starting with a diet with a high nutrient-per-calorie ratio that can be adapted for individual needs.

Dr. Fuhrman makes clear that we don’t have to “control” diabetes. Patients can choose to follow better nutritional guidelines that will control it for them, even before they have lost excess weight. The end result is a medical breakthrough—a comprehensive reversal of the disease.

Product Description

From the Back Cover

Despite what you might have heard, diabetes is not a lifelong condition.

It does not have to shorten your life span or result in high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, or other life-threatening ailments. In fact, most diabetics can get off medication and become 100 percent healthy in just a few simple steps. In The End of Diabetes, Dr. Joel Fuhrman shows how you can prevent and reverse diabetes and its related symptoms and lose weight in the process.

The End of Diabetes is a radical idea wrapped in a simple plan: Eat Better, End Diabetes. While the established medical protocol aims to control diabetes by limiting your carbohydrate intake, monitoring glucose levels, and prescribing bottomless doses of medicine, Dr. Fuhrman believes this long-standing approach to fighting diabetes is wrong—and possibly fatal.

Designed for anyone ready to enjoy a healthier and longer life, Dr. Fuhrman's plan is based on a single formula: Your Health Future (H) = Nutrients (N) / Calories (C). Foods with a high nutrient density, according to Dr. Fuhrman, turn our bodies into the miraculous, self-healing machines they can be, which results in significant weight loss, improved health, and, ultimately, the end of diabetes and other diseases.

In engaging, direct, and easy-to-follow language, The End of Diabetes supplies the science and clinical evidence to prove that diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure are not inevitable consequences of aging. They are reversible and preventable. This simple and effective plan offers great food, starts working right away, and puts you on a direct path to a longer, better, fuller, disease-free life.

The key thing with this or any other book by Dr. Fuhrman is to keep in mind that it's not just a recipe book...you can't expect a few recipes to transform your life unless you actually follow the advice in his books and adopt a plant-strong, whole food diet...if you're still eating a typical diet and add some things in then it's not the same as jumping in and giving it a full try. I am sure that if you try it in full for six weeks you'll have major change in your life. When Eat to Live came out I lost 19lbs in 6 weeks and there was no starvation! I could eat an abundance of food and still lose weight.

This book is great because he explains how and why you have type 2 diabetes and guides you along so you can reverse it or prevent it. If you want a magic pill to cure you then this isn't for you. Even people who live with type 1 will lower their insulin and prevent the other health issues usually associated with diabetes.

You have the power to change your life and transform your health with this book but it depends on your taking action.

If you want solid information and want to be empowered to transform your life then you most certainly can with the advice in this book.

This book is truly a life saver I wish everyone could have access to it & the willingness to follow ways to learn that there health & life is worth saving. The Diabetes Society should be the first to be on board to inform everyone that they have a choice in life. That to Take Charge to the Best Life is worth the work. Cure is better than managing the Disease. The class that I attend to learn about Diabetes did not give this option to everyone. It is definitely not consider closely enough because I mentioned this in class & the dietician agreed that it can happen but not in everyone's ability to do. According to all the cases & proof that you show in your book I don't agree. Also what about all the people that get gastric bypass & become cured from this horrible disease. Dr Oz has brought this to a larger population but I think the Diabetes Society should be contacted by the Doctor to teach them about the new & better ways to save people's lives. I truly hope that Dr. Fuhrman will take this under consideration.

I was concerned about the extremely negative review from the person with the hotmail account. It does not sound like this person has grasped the basics of Fuhrman's approach. His anti diabetes approach can more properly be described as a 'greens and beans' diet foremost (you can easily verify this yourself by searching the web). It is most certainly not an all fruit diet, and trying to frame it as so does not properly reflect his approach. I would suggest you read the material at Fuhrman's web site, and make your own judgment from that. I also believe there is far too much evidence now to call a whole foods, plant strong diet quackery.

I have been Diabetic for the past 16 years. I would recommend this book to anyone who is challenged with diabetes. When I read Eat to live by Dr. Fuhrman it provided all the information needed to start to deal with Diabetes and I was able to cut down oral medication by just following his eating plan.

My blood sugar is now balanced as long as I follow the plan. When you know you cannot un know.

The book "The end of Diabetes" enabled me to understand the underpinnings of the condition.

I bought 2 copies of this book. One for my mother who has Diabetes and one for myself to help her. We have only been on the diet 2 weeks. She takes insulin 3x a day. Every day she is dropping her intake by 6-7 units. Yesterday she did not need her lunch time insulin at all. It really works. She was really nervous about the breakfast of Oatmeal and fruit as a diabetic but sure enough with no fat intake this does not affect her blood sugar. I have lost 5 pounds in the 2 weeks I have been following this diet and I feel great. Wonderful book. Such an easy solution to Diabetes. I have already lent my copy out and have to buy another.

THIS IS A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS STRAIGHT FORWARD INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO SAFEGUARD THEIR HEALTH. DR. FUHRMAN IS A GREAT LECTURER (WNED FUNDRAISING SERIES). HIS BOOK OFFERS HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE: HE SHOWS HOW IT'S POSSIBLE TO CURB DESTRUCTIVE EATING HABITS BY SUBSTITUTING HEALTHIER CHOICES AND WHY THOSE WILL WORK FOR US TO PREVENT, EASE AND MAYBE EVEN ELIMINATE DIABETES.

Joel Fuhrman is a lifesaver!! Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I was terrified at what was next. But I took out a bunch of books from the library and started reading them. Most of them were about managing diabetes but then came across this one and started reading it and immediately felt better. There is so much great info in here about reversing diabetes along with several patient testimonial's. After a month of switching from a vegetarian to a vegan diet, I feel so much better. My sugar levels are normal. I have more energy to go out walking with my son and am passionate about being healthy and cooking health meals for me and my family. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman!!
